Well, it could mean...a number of things.
Does this sound like an actual person calling you from somewhere far off?
Or is it more, a spiritual calling, kinda hard to explain but when you just hear it in your soul, not your ears or even your mind. {All I know is how it is for me, but when I talk with the lord, or even my spirit guides, I 'hear' things this way. Not like imagining what it sounds like in my head, but its more..I suddenly know something and know they said it}.

Also, what way does it make you feel when this happens?

Is it a dark, menacing{creepy}, or threatening feeling?
Or is it giving you a sense of peace?

And if its something you are actually hearing with your ears, what does it the voice sound like and whats the tone?

Usually you will recognize it as your own voice or as the feminine
and may come from internally from the area of the chest
this directs you to look inside to your own inner guidance. I do not feel it matters that you put a label on "who" it is. The Lord/Angel/ Spirit Guide /Whomever it is an aspect of you that is connecting.

This happens to me often with my own voice so I have been able to immediately observe and I have noticed even though the voice resonates withing my vocal cords do not seem to move.

If the voice is that of another or masculine it may come from a seemingly external source
and is directing you to externalities.

On 9-11-01 early early morning I awoke to my own name being called. I awoke and closed my eyes again. Then I heard my name again and my big toe was seemingly pulled. I looked to see who was there and closed eyes again. Finally I heard my name come from the corner of bedroom near ceiling and my big toe was pulled hard. I arose from bed and prayed for hours before falling asleep around 7:00 am..http://curezone.com/forums/fm.asp?i=503147

I awoke last week to my friends voice, her voice simply called my name as though she wanted my attention. It was as if she were beside me and when I sat up I could still feel the voice resonating. Tears came from my eyes. I went back to sleep after a while and had a dream where she said. " A put your hand on my neck my blood Sugar is high" several hours later I was in Yoga class in relaxation and I heard her call my name again and tears came from my eyes. When I left class and was driving home I heard her call me one last time so I turned around to stop by as I pulled up I received a phone message sent an hour earlier asking me to come by. When I got in she had been on the floor red and sweaty her blood Sugar had been very hiigh and then dipped to the point where she was almost incoherent , so I gave her some glucose, sent her energy, fed her and sat with her.

Hey, I was recently looking for answers on why I've been hearing a voice whisper my name. Usually it wakes me up from a dead sleep, or I hear it when I'm laying down trying to go to sleep, and it's been happening since I was about 6. I'm now 20. I have no idea who it is, I don't recognize the voice at all, it's just a woman's voice lightly whispering my name. Most of the time, it doesn't sound threatening, but there has been occaisons that it seems agitated, and mad. And sometimes I hear a man's voice yelling "Get Over Here!!" The mans voice sounds like my dad's. But he's alive. So I don't know why I would be hearing that. Every time I explain it to someone, they just say that I'm skitsophranic. But I'm not. I've been hearing this voice for a very long time. I use to get headaches when the voices wouldn't stop saying my name over and over and over again, or someone saying "end it" over and over again when I was younger. Now all's I hear is my name. I last heard it about 3 days ago.

I've had the same thing happen to me on numerous occasions. It's always a woman’s voice, sometimes it sound like my mother's. I also here knocking at my door at times. It's so real that once I went to the door looking for someone to be there. The voices occur in the mornings, I work an early shift and get up around 4:30am The voices sometimes wake me up by calling my name

The other night I was in the games room just watching TV with the family and I could hear talking from down the hall (p.s everyone was in the games room that was home) I asked if anyone could hear it, my dad said he could also hear something but wasn't sure what it was saying. This type of stuff isn't unmoral to us we know there are other things out there and we’ve heard/seen stuff before so it wasn’t new to us so we just continued to watch TV and next minute I heard this woman whisper/call my name, it was so clear, I just ignored it acted like nothing happened. Then the night after that I heard it again. It was the same voice but this time she didn’t stop at just my name, I couldn't quite make out what she was trying to say but then it suddenly stopped. I never got chance to answered it back. I know I’m not mental or anything I’m a spiritual person and I didn't feel negativity from this lady calling my name. I want it to happen again so I can respond to it and see what she wants or if she needs help. I'm just curious

i am just wandering if you can help. i keep hearing this deep almost crackling voice trying to talk with me. my first experience was when i was getting groceries from the car at night by myself and it said something in different language. the last time i heard it was yesterday morning when i was talking to my mom and the same voice said my name loud. however she did not hear it and thinks im crazy.

I was trying to fall asleep. I was laying in bed. In the dark when I heard someone in my ear calling my name. I jumped up and looked around. It made me feel creepy. What does this mean. It was a woman's voice
